    isn't that a funny expression "god help them".
    do you think when one prays that one is only
    talking to himself? Don't you find that a little
    funny? Or like this: "hey motherfucker, can you
    give me a hand down here on this bat shit crazy place"?
    My grandmother used to say that "god helps those that
    help themselves". She also said god help those that
    help themselves to too much stuff. (as in they get caught)

    ### - have tried both in my time lol :))

    can't help having the feeling though that i have an ongoing relationship
    with 'something' am most definitely a part of, but don't/can't understand directly (no words for it i mean; it can't be defined) it's not a 'what'
    for instance...

    so is that 'god' then? methinks they've tried to call it all kinds of
    things, have tried to relate to it via different ways & cultures over
    time, always assuming/presuming it's one 'thing' or another (even god)
    only of course it's nada our puny minds could ever even 'conceive' of
    innit...

    that would be like trying to describe/understand the designs of the
    spirit...

    ya end up talkin' shit haha ;)

    Africa

    Africa now has more than 1,000 deaths from Covid-19, according to the
    Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention.

    A total of 52 of the continent’s 54 countries have reported the virus,
    with the overall number of cases more than 19,800 as of Saturday morning.

    The World Health Organisation has noted a 51% increase in cases in Africa
    and a 60 per cent jump in deaths.

    But the WHO chief has warned that because of a shortage of testing “it’s likely the real numbers are higher than reported”.

    The Africa CDC has said more than one million test kits will be rolled out starting next week.

    ### - so it's the turn of africa and the other 3rd/4th & 5th worlds now eh?

    this likely to increasingly be the news over the next few weeks...

    but maybe we'll find some 'humanity' and all jump-in to help them eh?

    spend a few 'billions' on africa and all these other piss-poor countries
    too?

    plus don't we 'owe' it to them to do so?

    (as in, we didn't hesitate to plunder + exploit them to our own benefit
    did we!)

    we owe them alright!
